[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 11 Video and Network Problems
by Gabriel Stein 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hey, I have a Sis190 which works realy fine in openSUSE 10.3. Today I installed the openSUSE 11 RC1 and the wired network(internet) don´t works. I tried to put manual routes, put nameservers on /etc/resolv.conf... the internet don´t works, only a local traffic. I see some errors on ifconfig, so strange. I never had this kind of error on openSUSE 10.3. Finally, the armagedon: With network not working, my video sis 671/771 doens´t work. On openSUSE 10.3 I just copy the sis 2D drivers to correct directory, change the xorg.conf file and works! Someone have this problem? I want to put my notebook on trash after this problems and Sis chipset. PS: Finally openSUSE 11 RC1 solved the problem with booting stops. Now openSUSE boot without problems, without internet, with worst fbdev video driver. PS2: On Another OS Internet works.

[opensuse-factory] Update 11.0b3plus to 11.0rc1
by Thorolf Godawa 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi, I just made a "zypper dup" of my OSS 11.0b3plus-installation with Xen to the lastest version (rc1), and as far as I can say, everything works fine :-) Running and administration of my DomUs works also with the virt-manager, LVM works - there is not much more I need on my Dom0. On xfce4 I still have the problem, that the only working resolution is 1280x786 while I set it to 1280x1024x64k (Eizo 17" monitor, Intel 865 onboard), but that is only a minor problem! Thanks for this great update, -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Partitioning based on type of installation
by Marc Ensenbach 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hello, I would like to suggest an enhancement of the partitioner. The dialog where you can select the type of installation (new/update/repair) should offer more options which then are interpreted by the partitioner. I would like to see something like ======== Installation type ( ) Install additionally to existing operating systems (without touching them) ( ) Modify [ComboBox with already installed Linux Versions on the machine] ( ) Install over the selected operating system (this will delete the selected operating system) ( ) Update selected Linux ( ) Repair selected Linux ( ) Set up a machine with one single operating system (this will delete all installed operating systems) ======== Any comments on this proposal?

[opensuse-factory] RC1
by Russ Fineman 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Has anyone tried using the update for installing RC1? I have 11.0 beta3 installed and want to do RC1 without total reinstall if possible. I looked at the delta iso but I apparently deleted beta 3 iso but mistake so i don't have it and I understand I would need it for the delta version to work. Is this correct? -- Russ Linux register user 441463 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RC1 looks good on G3 iMac
by Richard (MQ) 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Just finished installing RC1 on G3 iMac from 1997 - looks pretty good. Biggest problem by far remains since at least early Betas - other bootable systems (e.g. OS-X, other Linux) on the HD are ignored by the installer when setting up the boot loader. Raised bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396361 for this. First stage of installation says it will reboot now, but doesn't - X window goes black except for a cursor, other ttys continue as before and top shows > 99% idle. Forcing a reboot results in fsck check on restart (i.e. something wasn't umounted). Anyone else have this before I raise a bug? Once system is up, GUI login screen is impossible to navigate with keyboard alone (i.e. no mouse) - can't even readily select a console login. Is this intentional - looks like a bug to me. Only other thing I noticed was the ever-changing DHCP addresses noted elsewhere - happens on PPC / iMac too! Looking good though for 11.0... -- Cheers Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Acer Wifi button problem
by Thiago Vinhas 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi guys, I'm using openSUSE 11 RC1 since yesterday, and among a few glitches, everything works perfectly. The only real problem I have is that I just can't make my wireless work, because the button that activates the Intel Wireless device just doesn't work. It was working on 10.3. My notebook is an Acer Aspire 5920, the wireless is identified by lspci as: 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) When I click on the wireless button, I get the following error captured by dmesg: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd6 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e056 <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd6 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e056 <keycode>' to make it known. I have the module acerhk loaded, and also acer_wmi. -- Abs, Thiago Vinhas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.0 RC1 - odd choice of kernel
by Per Jessen 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I've just installed 11.0 RC1 on an old Pentium II with 384Mb RAM. The installer chose to install an SMP+PAE kernel, which I find pretty unusual? Any thoughts on why? /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] LVM partitioning proposal
by Marc Ensenbach 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hello, I am using a machine with a fine grain LVM partition setup. When I ran through the installation menu of 11.0 RC 1 and selected "LVM based partitioning", /dev/system/root and /dev/system/home were recognised and suggested to be used as / (after formatting) and /home, but nothing similar happened for the other present partitions such as /dev/system/usr: these partitions are recognised, but in the partitioning proposal they are neither marked to be deleted nor to be mounted. Is there any reason why the partitioner does not really care about these additionen LVM partitions?
